In order to study rock breaking characteristics of tunnel boring machine(TBM) disc cutter at different rock temperatures,thermodynamic rock breaking mathematical model of TBM disc cutter was established on the basis of rock temperature change by using particle flow code theory and the influence law of interaction mechanism between disc cutter and rock was also numerically simulated.Furthermore,by using the linear cutting experiment platform,rock breaking process of TBM disc cutter at different rock temperatures was well verified by the experiments.Finally,rock breaking characteristics of TBM disc cutter were differentiated and analyzed from microscale perspective.The results indicate the follows.1) When rock temperature increases,the mechanical properties of rock such as hardness,and strength,were greatly reduced,simultaneously the microcracks rapidly grow with the cracks number increasing,which leads to rock breaking load decreasing and improves rock breaking efficiency for TBM disc cutter.2) The higher the rock temperature,the lower the rock internal stress.The stress distribution rules coincide with the Buzin Neske stress circle rules: the maximum stress value is below the cutting edge region and then gradually decreases radiant around; stress distribution is symmetrical and the total stress of rock becomes smaller.3) The higher the rock temperature is,the more the numbers of micro,tensile and shear cracks produced are by rock as well as the easier the rock intrusion,along with shear failure mode mainly showing.4) With rock temperature increasing,the resistance intrusive coefficients of rock and intrusion power decrease obviously,so the specific energy consumption that TBM disc cutter achieves leaping broken also decreases subsequently.5) The acoustic emission frequency remarkably increases along with the temperature increasing,which improves the rock breaking efficiency.
为了对比不同典型全断面岩石掘进机(TBM)刀盘的力学性能,对刀盘倾覆力矩计算模型进行了修正。在理想工况、上软下硬地质和部分刀具磨损3种工况下,计算得到刀盘倾覆力矩的分布情况,并采用有限元法模拟得到刀盘掘进过程中应力分布规律。结果表明:刀盘的径向载荷远小于刀盘倾覆力矩,倾覆力矩对刀盘性能的影响远大于径向载荷;刀盘正面滚刀受载产生的倾覆力矩最大,其次是边缘滚刀,中心滚刀受载产生的倾覆力矩最小;在刀具磨损工况下,A刀盘总倾覆力矩在2 800 k N·m以上,比理想工况下要大7%;星形布局刀盘B的倾覆力矩比螺旋线布局刀盘A小,其力学性能和强度特性优于螺旋线布局刀盘。
